The on-call overtime pay for Paterson Animal Control Officer John DeCando is another example of an overpaid employee gaming the system in a financial struggling city. Why this on-call pay is needed, and how such pay could be given without full council approval, is beyond me. And I laugh when an administrator asserts that the employee receiving the excessive pay is "the best". People in all jobs should be held to a high standard, at regular pay. It just proves once again that Paterson, and cities similar to it in NJ, are not properly run and wasteful of taxpayer money.
